742 Soul Keeper

In a dark space where nothing could be seen, a voice filled with anger sounded. "You should stop now or it will be too late for you to regret."

"We didn't stop you before, but the things that you are doing now... We can't ignore them any longer."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you were born with the Ruler's Authority."

"Azrath, can't you just fulfill your role as the Soul Keeper without causing so much trouble? I was trying to get some sleep when these guys dragged me here, breaking my beauty sleep because of you."

There was a momentary silence in the dark space before a cold and indifferent voice rang out. "I am not going to stop until I achieve my desired result."

Hearing the cold and indifferent voice, the person who spoke in the beginning gritted its teeth.

"... If you are really hell-bent on going down this path, then we will have no choice but to eliminate you."

There was no response, but everyone present in the dark space knew what was going to happen next.

Suddenly, a cold aura started to permeate the dark space.

"There is no point talking to him. Let's just eliminate him so that I can go back and take my beauty sleep."

Soon, the energy waves that could destroy planets with ease swept in all directions, and the dark space started to break under the impact of the shockwaves.

"Using the power of these four, I should be able to complete the final step now..." Before the Dark Space completely shattered, a low voice sounded, and everything turned into nothingness.

*Huff *Huff

Evan woke up in a dimly lit room and panted heavily. His bare-chested body was covered in cold sweat as he looked around him with a confused expression on his face.

After looking around him for a moment, he finally realized where he was and sighed in relief.

"Damn these dreams..." Evan waved his hand, and a gust of wind removed the curtains from the window, allowing sunlight to enter the room. As the sunlight illuminated the room, Evan leaned back on the bed and tousled his slightly sweaty hair.

"These dreams are becoming more and more frequent since I arrived in Utopia..." Evan muttered with furrowed eyebrows and sighed loudly.

He looked out of the window and, seeing that the sun was already up, he stood up and went to the bathroom to take a bath and clean himself up.

It's been two days since Evan and Cedar arrived in Star City. For the past two days, both of them have been looking for the items they need.

Evan had already purchased all the herbs he needed to help Amara become a Peak Rank One Alchemist.

The herb costed him a total of 70 thousand mid-grade essence stones or in other words 7 million low-grade essence stones.

Although Evan's heart nearly leapt out of his chest when he heard the price of the herbs, he still purchased them because making Amara a Rank One alchemist is his top priority for the time being.

Once she becomes a Rank One Alchemist, he would be able to sell potions and pills created by her, earning back all the money that he is spending on her.

Other than the herbs, he also searched for the materials that he had shown to Cedar. Unfortunately for him, just as Cedar said, some of the materials that he needed were very rare and they were not able to find them anywhere in the Star City.

The materials that he wasn't able to find were Two Soul Blood Crystals, One Space Stone, and Two Drops Of Time Water.

Other than these three materials, he purchased all the materials that he needed.

1 kg Dracorium, 200 grams Eldrite, 3 Beginner Level Rank One Monster Cores. 5 Mid Level Rank One Monster Cores and 10 grams of Arcanite.

These were the materials that he purchased in the past two days and these materials cost him a total of one hundred and forty thousand mid level essence stones.

The most expensive were the five mid-level Rank One Monster Cores. One mid-level Rank One Core cost him twelve thousand mid-level essence stones.

If he didn't have the essence stones that he got after killing Kael and others, he wouldn't have been able to buy these things even with the help of the essence stones that Cedar had lent him.

When Evan saw the Monster Cores of the Ranked Monsters for the first time, he wondered if he could increase the Rank of his core by eating them just like how he used to.

In order to test his theory, he purchased an extra beginner level Rank One Core.

When he swallowed the core, the core turned into energy and was absorbed by his primordial monarch core. However, Evan noticed that the energy of the core did not increase the Rank of his core.

Although the energy of the core did not increase its Rank, Evan found that similar to before, he can still gain skills after swallowing the cores, and on top of that, now there is even a chance of receiving an authority of the monster from whom the core was extracted.

Evan was quite excited after learning that he could even acquire Authorities by absorbing the cores, but he didn't use his limited essence stones to buy cores because buying the materials that he had shown to Cedar was his top priority for now.

Evan needed these materials because he had a plan in his mind, and if everything goes according to his plan, he might even be able to kill peak Rank Two Core Evolvers without the help of his shadow undeads.

Similar to Evan, Cedar also bought many things. He had to purchase items not only for himself but also for other Dryads, so the amount of essence stones that he spent in the last two days was so high that Evan even felt that Cedar's must be the boyfriend of the Goddess of Wealth.

Around half an hour later, Evan emerged from the bathroom and used his wind manipulation skill to dry himself off.

"We will be leaving Star City tomorrow. I hope I will be able to find the things that I need by the end of the day," Evan said as he dressed himself.

After putting on his clothes, Evan walked out of the room and knocked on the door of the room next to his.
